On August 14, 2019, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Pitlyk to serve as a United States district judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. On September 9, 2019, her nomination was sent to the Senate. President Trump nominated Pitlyk to the seat vacated by Judge Catherine D. Perry, who assumed senior status on December 31, 2018.
On September 24, 2019, the American Bar Association (ABA) rated Pitlyk as "Not Qualified." The ABA said Pitlyk's rating was based on her lack of trial experience, as she had "never tried a case," she had "never examined a witness," she had "not taken a deposition," she had "not argued any motion in a state or federal trial court," she had "never picked a jury," and she had "never participated at any stage of a criminal matter." Pitlyk said one reason she had never tried a case and never taken a deposition is that she has been a member of legal teams that have allowed her to arrange her schedule in order to spend more time with her children.
On September 25, 2019, a hearing on her nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee. At the hearing, Democratic Senator Dick Durbin expressed concerns about Pitlyk's lack of trial experience, and other Democratic Senators including Richard Blumenthal asked her about her anti-abortion views; she responded that her personal views would not affect her work as a judge. As a lawyer, Pitlyk had argued that frozen embryos from in vitro fertilisation should legally be considered human beings, and she wrote an amicus brief stating that "surrogacy has grave effects on society." On October 31, 2019, her nomination was reported out of committee by a 12–10 vote.
On December 3, 2019, the United States Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 50–43 vote, with Maine senator Susan Collins voting against her nomination. On December 4, 2019, her nomination was confirmed by a 49–44 vote. She received her judicial commission on December 5, 2019, and was sworn into office on December 6, 2019.

# Battle of Puiflijk

The Battle of Puiflijk occurred on 19 October 1794 in the Land van Maas en Waal region of the Netherlands during the Flanders campaign of the War of the First Coalition against Revolutionary France.
The battle took place in three different locations between French troops under the command of general Jean-Charles Pichegru and Coalition forces. The latter, the Allies, consisted of troops from Great Britain and a French Armée des émigrés force under the Prince of Rohan. They were led by the British commander-in-chief, Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany.
The Allies had fortified themselves in outposts behind the Oude Wetering canal and the dykes of the Maas and Waal rivers. On 18 October 1794, the French crossed the Maas from Teeffelen (near Lithoijen) to Alphen. On 19 October, they attacked the Coalition outposts in three locations: near Appeltern (Blauwe Sluis), Altforst and the Waal dyke near Druten (Puiflijk).
At Blauwe Sluis, Rohan's forces were pushed back after heavy fighting. In this action, 19 'émigrés' were captured. They were brought before a French military court in Ravenstein on 21 October 1794, where they were condemned to death and executed for treason. The British forces were driven back in great disorder; in the action on the Waal dyke, the standard of the British 37th Regiment of Foot was captured by the sans-culottes.

## Re-enactment

On 10 August 2017, the Battle of Puiflijk was re-enacted on a small scale by a team of actors with the help of the citizens of Puiflijk. It was part of a broader event of Omroep Gelderland's television programme Zomer in Gelderland to put the village on the map.

# Polesworth Abbey

Polesworth Abbey was a Benedictine nunnery in Polesworth, North Warwickshire, England.
By the late 600s Edgyth (Editha), Athea and Osgyth had established hermitages at Polesworth from which the village and Benedictine Abbey developed. The detail of this early foundation was incorporated into the twelfth-century hagiographical Life of St Modwynn of Burton upon Trent. In 1066, Sir Robert Marmion expelled the nuns from Polesworth, but after seeing a vision of St. Edith, he allowed them to return; in 1242, King Henry III granted the abbey a weekly market, as well as an annual fair for St Margaret.

## Abbey

By 699 the Abbey had been established and accounts of Saint Edgyth (Editha) widely circulated in the local area. Polesworth Abbey is the place where the much-quoted ‘Osgyth' miracle — in which the nun, Osgyth, who had drowned in the river while delivering a Book of the Gospels to her Abbess — originates.
Always associated with Edgytha (Saint Editha) the foundation is often confused with the later development of Tamworth Castle and the 10th century church at Tamworth, which was also dedicated to Saint Editha and where relics of the Polesworth saint were translated in the time of Ethelfleda.
The early history also confused with that of St Modwenna of Burton whose Life was constructed in the early 12th century by Abbot Geoffrey and in which details of the foundation have been preserved.
The site of the Abbey is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, although apart from the church and the gatehouse and the restored ruins of the cloister very little remains visible. The 12th-century Abbey church, now the parish church of St Editha, is a Grade II* listed building. The 14th-century gatehouse is both a Grade II* listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It has recently been restored and renovated to provide apartments available for rent.

## Parish church

Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536, the Abbey was granted by Henry VIII to Francis Goodere of St Albans, Hertfordshire in 1544; Goodere dismantled many of the Abbey buildings to provide stone for a new manor house (Polesworth Hall) which he built on the site. Later Sir Henry Goodere was a patron of the arts and leader of the Polesworth Group of poets, which included his protégé Michael Drayton.
Polesworth Hall was demolished before 1868 and the Vicarage was built on the site. The abbey now functions as the Church of England parish church of Polesworth.

## Organ

The church contains a three manual pipe organ by Taylor of Leicester. It was originally installed in 1912 in St Michael & All Angels' Church, Leicester. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
# Antrimpos

Antrimpos is an extinct genus of crustacean which existed during the Triassic and Jurassic periods. It contains 15 species, including Antrimpos speciosus.
# Azbuka Academy

Azbuka Academy was a public charter school project of Slavic Youth of America in Portland, Oregon. Operating under an agreement with the David Douglas School Board, it opened in September 2008 at a church building on Northeast Glisan Street and operated for two school years before closing. In its final year, it enrolled 50 students in ninth, 10th and 11th grades.
After the David Douglas board ended the agreement, Azbuka sought a review from the Oregon State Board of Education, which upheld the termination. In November 2010, Azbuka sued the Oregon State Board of Education, Oregon State Superintendent of Public Instruction Susan Castillo, and the Oregon Department of Education on grounds that the agreement had been wrongfully terminated. It asked the Multnomah County Circuit Court to reinstate the agreement so the school could reopen.
The school was Oregon's first charter high school with a focus on Russian language and culture. Board members who dissented from approving the original agreement had suggested that David Douglas High School should be given time to improve its Russian-language, culture, and literature offerings before supporting the charter school. There were also concerns that the planned programming might not meet the needs of the academy's proposed students, those not doing well in traditional schools. Only two of 20 students later tested as part of a Portland State University study met achievement standards, according to the hearings officer for the state.
# Mercedes-Benz OM668 engine

The Mercedes-Benz OM668 engine is a 1.7-litre (1,689 cc) diesel inline-four engine manufactured by the Mercedes-Benz division of Daimler AG. It was used in the Mercedes-Benz W168 from 1997 to 2004 and the Mercedes-Benz W414 from 2001 to 2005.

## Description

The OM 668 makes use of the common rail system. Compared to the otto engine M 166 it has 4 valves per cylinder instead of two. Two chain driven overhead camshafts are used. The intake camshaft is driven by a chain, the exhaust camshaft is connected to the intake camshaft with a gear. Another chain drives the oil pump from the crankshaft. All engines have a turbocharger and all engines with more than 44 kW (60 PS) also have an intercooler. In 1997 the OM 668 was the smallest diesel engine by Mercedes-Benz.
There are no mechanical differences between the engines, except from the 44 kW (60 PS) engine, which does not have an intercooler. In 2001, the camshaft and turbocharger were modified slightly. This increased the rated power, but not the torque, due to the weak clutch of the Mercedes-Benz W 168.
Without any physical changes to the engine, the power can be increased to 88 kW (120 PS) by simply changing the software of the ECU. This does not decrease the durability of the robust engine. Due to the increased torque of up to 200 N⋅m (148 lb⋅ft), the clutch of the W 168 may wear out faster, if the rated power is increased. The OM668 later developed into the Thielert Centurion 1.7 aero engine
